History
Kamonomiya Station opened on 1983-12-22 with the start of the New Shuttle (Saitama New Urban Transit Ina Line), with station code NS03. At the time the station was in Ōmiya City. On 2001-05-01 Ōmiya merged with Urawa and Yono to form Saitama City, and on 2003-04-01, when Saitama became a designated city, the station became the nearest stop to the new Saitama City Kita-ku ward office. The Suica IC card became usable on 2007-03-18, with a single simple-IC reader installed at the time. Lifts connecting the ground-level concourse to both platforms entered service on 2011-04-22, completing the station's accessibility upgrade. From around 2008 onwards, redevelopment to the south of the station and the construction of high-rise apartments brought a steep rise in passenger numbers.

Notes
Although Kamonomiya shares its reading with the JR Tōkaidō Main Line's Kamonomiya Station, the two stops are written with different kanji.
